Moving On

I have lost my Guardian Angel who saw me safely across the road near my home. The drinking school have been moved on. I suppose they caused offence to the respectable citizens of Hove although I always found them polite enough. One day they took up residence on a seat across the road but that was outside someone's window so they have now disappeared altogether.
When I lived in Canterbury we used to have a middle aged Polish lady who would come and sit on our front garden wall. She would occasionally shout out something but whether it was a greeting or a curse at the rotten hand fate had dealt her I never knew. My German neighbour used to try to talk to her and gave her some food but she did not seem very appreciative.
My mother as a child witnessed a whole family with their belongings being turned out into the street in the rain. This made a great impression on her and she said to me "Whatever you do always make sure you can pay your rent so that you have a roof over your head". I have grown up with the belief that one of the worst things that can happen to you is to have no home even if it is your own fault. Count your blessings!
